I've had this question a couple of times now - Which CW paddle should I get - a "single lever" paddle or a "dual lever" paddle?
Ultimately, I think its a matter of preference. I have heard that single lever paddles are great for very high speed CW, but I have to tell you - I think it all has to do with proficiency. I recommend you try both ways and see what best suits you!

I just realized that I’m using my iambic paddle like a single lever. Maybe I’ll give a single lever a try

Single lever gang for the win! 😊

I've been licensed for over 50 years, I have always operated almost 100% CW. I own several Iambic paddles but I have always found it much easier using the single lever paddle. As far as newcomers to CW, it's enough to deal with learning to send, let alone learning the squeeze method of sending with an iambic paddle. Sometimes simple, is better.

So true. A lot of my friends prefer a single lever also!

I believe the proper term for the paddle is "Thingy" or Thing-a-ma-jig" I personaly prefer duma-hickey. But seriously great video thanks for the info.

There was a point missed here, and that is, a single lever key can also have dual paddles. The paddles help with spacing between your fingers and work as a single lever key. Dual paddles on a single lever fulcrum. Common with QRQ Operators. 73 DE K6JSC

I’ve just passed my CWops beginner course last week and I think I want to move to a quality single paddle for the fundamentals course in January-in your opinion would that be an acceptable choice this early in my CW career? Great video,have a subscription 😊

I would like to think that this is only the beginning for you in your CW Journey and that you will utilize and have your single paddle for a long time, so I would urge you to look at something on the higher end. Begali might be a little too expensive? But certainly look at ur5cdx. They are beautiful and not crazy priced and work really well
